Pretty disappointing for a lot of reasons. First off, the floor was covered in water as there seemed to be some sort of leak. As someone prone to falls, that’s something to at least stay on top of and mop up or at least have a warning sign. I could tell the server was super stressed because he was kind of talking to multiple tables at once and instructing another server. That’s understandable, but the service was slow overall. When it came to the food, we had to add salt to everything because it had virtually no flavor. We tried the kadai chicken and chilli ghobi, and thought they weren’t terrible, they certainly weren’t worth the prices at this restaurant. This may have just been an off day, but it’s not somewhere I’d return based on this experience.

Horrible. For 15 years I’ve enjoyed Hema’s Kitchen but what I had tonight was completely different. It was bland, just horrible. We couldn’t tell the difference between the Vindaloo and the Tiki Masala.

Had a wonderful time at Hema’s! The food is delicious and reasonably priced, and the staff is helpful with recommendations. Best of all, it’s a BYOB restaurant, and it’s very casual on the inside. Come relaxed and ready to enjoy some fantastic Indian food!

Hema’s used to be our favorite restaurant on Devon. We ordered takeout from them all throughout the pandemic and it was a real life saver. Sadly though, the quality has declined. Not sure if it’s new owners or what. Our last order was kind of disappointing, it took two hours to deliver and was cold on arrival. Additionally, we were missing the garlic naan which is usually a highlight of the meal. I tried calling to ask for the naan to be taken off the bill, but the person answering the phone asked me to hold and hung up on me. It seems like the recipes have changed as well, this order had a lot more oil pooling on the top and seemed less fresh than previous orders. Honestly y’all, I love Indian food but there’s so much good competition I’m just going to try all other other ones until I find my new favorite and go with them. Some solid contenders out there and life’s too short to spend good cash on a disappointing experience.

Loved the murgh makhini.The service was slow, but the food was delicious so I cannot complain. The owner was very generous and gave me a complementary Gajar ka Halwa.I am planning to go there more often.

I really enjoyed Hema’s breakfast. I cannot have enough the Masala Dosa, Idly and Vada. A good starting points for authentic South Indian food. Will come back soon.

our food took 2 hours to get out. the food was good and very hot, but this was a terrible experience for us. we kept watching people who ordered takeout get their order within 5 minutes and sat baffled as to why it would take so long.

The food is amazing, staff were really nice and accommodating, and it’s very pretty! Food also came quickly, but never made us feel rushed.
